1
Had an uncle named Matthew
2
Was his fathers only boy
3
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
4
Was his mothers pride and joy
5
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
6
Love was just the way to live and die
7
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
8
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
9
All the stories that he told me
10
Back when I was just a lad
11
All the memories that he gave me
12
All the good times that he had
13
Growing up a Kansas farmboy
14
Life was mostly having fun
15
Riding on his Daddys shoulders
16
Behind a mule beneath the sun
17
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
18
Love was just the way to live and die
19
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
20
Blue is just a Kansas summer sky
21
Well, I guess there were some hard times
22
And I'm told some years were lean
23
They had a storm in forty-seven
24
A twister came and stripped them clean
25
He lost the farm and lost his family
26
He lost the wheat and lost his home
27
But he found the family Bible
28
Faith as solid as a stone
29
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
30
Love was just the way to live and die
31
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
32
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
33
So he came to live at our house
34
And he came to work the land
35
He came to ease my Daddys burden
36
And he came to be my friend
37
So, I wrote this down for Matthew
38
And it's for him the song is sung
39
Riding on his Daddy's shoulders
40
Behind a Mule beneath the sun
41
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
42
Love was just the way to live and die
43
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
44
Blue, was just a Kansas summer sky
45
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
46
Love was just the way to live and die
47
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield
48
Blue, just a Kansas summer sky
